JUDGE 'BILL' FVLTON , .T IS A PLEASURE of which we .promptly avail J ourselves to -congratulate William Otis Fulton, ".(loyenof Prince Rupert's members of the bar, on - his appointment of Judge of the County Court. A --"plain and popular man, esteemed citizen of many ". years' standing in Prince .Rupert, his elevation to Hie bench will be heartily approved and he may be trusted to carry.out the responsibiuteis of his oltice i"Avith wisdom and dignity. It is gratifying that. ngai);a Prince Rupert man was chosen. f ATo- the man whom Mr. r ulton succeeds, riis Honor, William' E. Fisher, we would also like to pay tribute on the occasion of his retirement. Also a pioneer legal practitioner of Prince Rupert, having come here even earlier than , did Mr. Fulton, Judge Fisfyer has occupied the bench here for nearly fif-teeif years and lias acquitted himself quietly and efficiently, f ; ' r.r..i v-. He now goes into retirement with a record of fair and square administration of justice. That-:he .will be spardd many years.tb'.en joy life is ourwish and that of his many friends.. NEW TRADE ROUTE INTERESTING STATEMENT of the case AN for buying in '.the eastern-rmidwestern trading area and shipping-overland via Canadian National and Briggs Steamship to Alaska is made out by the JAlaska-Midwest company, a new partner-. ship of three Alaskans who 'propose to handle buy-. ing for Southeastern Alaska merchants in the Twin cities. - It. has been a fight of decades to have such a service anriyears ago, we are told, there was such a shipping connection. Why it died we have not been told, but probably because there was less population up here to be served and the economy was more of a seasonal nature, making it difficult to operate' small shipSiOn.a continuous basis. Alaska-Midwest -points up these advantages of the overland connection: 1; It creates a competitive market, forcing Seattle jobbers to give, .better prices and services or lose businelsto theiTwin cities., - 2.. It would give an .alternate lifeline in case of coastal shipping tieup. If this proves to be true, it is highly important, for Alaska still is suffering from last fall arid .winter's tieup of ships. The dan-gerjierp, however, is that the same union manning Briggs Steamship-. vessels will be on the coastal ships arid might go out in support of their colleagues below. However, if Briggs does not join the'AVa'ferfront Employers association and deals direct with the unions, there is no reason why he can't continue to operate ,as some small lines generally are allowed to .do. 3. Prices are-lower. There are recurrent rum6rs that Seattle jobbers treat Alaska as an "export market" and charge us 10 or 15 more for our goods because. of this. fact. We know it is true in some commodities. It .does not seem to be true in paper, .however, with -Seattle quoting jobbing prices on its laid-down costs which means freight from eastern producing' centers is included, buying from St. Paul would.mean a saving. This is because the St. Paul wholesale price does.not.include freight to the west coast which the Seattle jobber adds onto his cost before he adds his markup. 4. Briggs has promised rates from 20 to 50 lower than the rates from Seattle, because his run is shorter and his boat will be actually delivering goods more of the time than if it had to make a long run from Seattle. 5. Handling costs all along the way are less. This adds up to an important item. St. Paul is the car-loading point because goods going into Minneapolis from theast issubjected to a switching or transfer . charge- Which Js mot .added in St. Paul. Jobbers in St, Paul promise to deliver the goods to the warehouse or car without charge whilean Seattle idray- - -age is added plus, in many cases, a charge f or wait-ing injine with dray , at the warehouse. Loading costs in Prince Rupert will be50 to 75 what they are in Seattle. The goods .won't have to be (loaded into a warehouse ati Rupert, then unloaded and shipped again, as they are in .a Seattle wholesale house. Car loading arid car pooling facilities in St Paul will, at J (51st .to some extent, Offset the higher cost of less than .carload . lots en route to Rupert. St. Paul firms have, promised to extend more iliberal credit and discount terras, too, though we haven't yet hear,d, jugt-what they willbe, -More; details .will be available here-next weekwhenlhe St Pauldele-gation arrives.
